Assailed Demon Demons Fight Folk Lore Pilgrim Apollyon
The Pilgrim's Progress - Christian's Fight with Apollyon
EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 1850) This powerful and evocative image captures a pivotal moment from John Bunyan's enduring 17th-century English classic, "The Pilgrim's Progress." In this scene, the pilgrim Christian, dressed in his distinctive blue coat and hat, is shown locked in a fierce battle with the demon Apollyon. The mid-19th century print, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, masterfully conveys the intensity of the struggle between good and evil. Christian, determined to reach the Celestial City, has been assailed by Apollyon, the prince of the power of the air, as he traverses the Slough of Despond. The demon, depicted with horns, wings, and a menacing grin, attempts to drag the pilgrim back to the worldly pleasures and sinful desires he has left behind. Christian, however, clings to his faith, refusing to be swayed. The print, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Bunyan's work and the enduring power of folk lore. "The Pilgrim's Progress" has been translated into over 200 languages and has influenced countless works of literature, art, and music. This image, in particular, has become a visual representation of the internal struggle between good and evil that continues to resonate with audiences today. The print's age and historical context add to its allure, offering a window into the artistic and literary traditions of the past. Its intricate details and vivid colors bring the story to life, making it a must-have for scholars, collectors, and anyone interested in the history of English literature and art.
